Honestly I feel that I shouldn't have emphasized so much on the historical aspect(this doesn't bother me all that much), main issue about that point is that the plot is so clunky that it became unlikely to be that way even given that counterfactual, as some other reviewer said with other words: "Church killing people over idea of studying astronomy, but there's a college that teaches it on which only the smartest and wealthiest can apply".
It is also very unlikely that something in the end would correct or in that case erase all the previous flaws, it's like building a house with sand and saying the stone roof will make everything okay.
Thanks for the recommendation. It sounds like something I could get into. Sadly it's on Netflix and I don't do business with those bandits any more. I suppose I could go back to trolling the bootleg sites, but that's pretty much asking for trouble nowadays.
Many people don't know that author said that and may have an impression that it is alternate world but with somewhat historically accurate institutions. So if someone believes in those misconceptions, it would make them believe them harder instead of undoing them. So even if this wasn't intention of the author to present it as historically accurate, it certainly looks as it was.
So either a viewer believes those misconceptions and Orb is harmful to them by making their belief stronger or someone knows how real history was and seeing what is shown is annoying and painful to watch.
